One of the most beautiful gifts of our faith is prayer—those sacred moments when we speak to our Heavenly Father, pour out our hearts, and listen for His gentle voice. I’ve always cherished learning new prayers and sometimes rediscovering ones I haven’t heard in years. They feel like old friends returning at just the right time.
If you’re taking the time to read this, first—thank you. Your presence here is a blessing. I would truly love it if you’d share with me a prayer that’s dear to your heart. Whether it’s a classic prayer that brings you comfort, a personal one you’ve written, or even a Scripture verse that speaks deeply to your soul, I would be so grateful to hear it.
Feel free to leave it in the comments—your words might be just what someone else needs today. 🌿
How Faith in Christ Strengthens the Heart
As believers, we are not left to face life’s challenges alone. We have something unshakable, a divine refuge that strengthens us from within: our faith.
Through faith, we learn to bring our burdens to the Lord. Philippians 4:6–7 reminds us: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Isn’t that promise beautiful? The peace of God doesn’t just comfort us—it guards our hearts and minds. It protects us from the heaviness that life can bring. But that peace comes when we lean into prayer, when we let go of our fears and trust the One who holds our future.
One of the most healing, faith-building practices God calls us to is forgiveness.

Forgiveness lightens our hearts. Holding onto bitterness and pain—though humanly understandable—can weigh us down and steal our peace. But forgiveness, even when it’s hard, leads us to freedom. It unburdens the soul and blesses our hearts—spiritually, emotionally, and even physically.
Forgiveness isn’t just for others—it’s God’s gift to us. When we choose to forgive, we break the chains of resentment that the enemy tries to use to keep us bound. We walk instead in love, grace, and peace.
And we don’t have to look far for the perfect example. On the cross, in unimaginable pain, our Savior prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) What a powerful testimony of mercy. Jesus’ heart was set on love, even in suffering.
That same Spirit of forgiveness lives in us through the Holy Spirit. And while forgiveness isn’t always easy, we don’t walk that road alone. We can ask God for help—He is faithful to give us the grace and strength we need.
When we forgive, we care for our hearts in a way that honors God and reflects His love. We reduce the weight of stress and anxiety, and in doing so, we not only protect our physical health, but we nurture the spiritual life within us.
Let’s continue walking in the way of Christ—daily practicing prayer, forgiveness, and grace. And let’s do it together, lifting one another up in love.
🌸 If there’s a prayer or verse that has helped you through a difficult time—or one that always brings you peace—I’d be so honored if you would share it below. You never know how it might bless someone else.
May your heart be filled with God’s peace today, and may you always feel His loving presence beside you.
With love in Christ,
Your sister in faith 💖

for our enemies:
O God, the Creator of all, whose Son commanded us to love our enemies: Lead them and us from prejudice to truth; deliver them and us from hatred, cruelty, and revenge; and in your good time enable us all to stand reconciled before you in Jesus Christ; in whose Name we pray. Amen.

from John to Eldridge’s book, Moving Mountains….
My dear Lord Jesus, I come to you now to be restored in you, renewed in you, to receive your life and your love and all the grace and mercy I so desperately need this day. I honor you as my Lord, and I surrender every aspect and dimension of my life to you. I give you my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind, and will. I cover myself with your blood—my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind, and will. I ask your Holy Spirit to restore me in you, renew me in you, and lead this time of prayer. In all that I now pray, I include [my wife and/or children, by name]. I cover them with your blood—their spirit, soul, and body, their heart, mind, and will. I ask your Spirit to restore them in you and include them in all that I now pray, acting as their head. In all that I now pray, I stand in total agreement with your Spirit and with all those praying for us by the spirit of God and by the Spirit of God alone.

A Parent’s Prayer (When their adult child stops talking to them)
Our Creator who art above the firmament,
hallow our inner spirit.
Thy wisdom come.
Thy will be done,
on the path we walk each day.
Give peace to our sons and daughters,
and forgive us for what we did not know,
as we forgive them for what they did not know,
and lead us not into a dark tunnel of gloom,
but deliver us from the stronghold of estrangement.
For you are the Creator of all wisdom, forgiveness, love,
and acceptance forever and ever. Amen

Two Funerals, One Heart: A Prayer for Cleveland
Introduction
It was just another morning at the VA Hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas—
fluorescent lights humming, phones ringing,
that quiet rhythm of trying to help people through the maze of bureaucracy and pain.
But then Cleveland reached out.
No small talk. No details. Just a simple request:
“Pray for me. I’ve got two funerals today.”
And that was it.
I didn’t ask who had died. I didn’t need to.
You can hear a man’s soul through the silence between his words.
Two funerals in one day—
that’s more grief than any man should have to carry alone.
So I stepped into the only space I know that can hold that kind of sorrow: prayer.
Not the polished kind,
but the kind that comes from the ache in your chest
and the hope that, somehow, God is still listening.
—
Prayer
Lord God Almighty,
You who walked with our people down dirt roads and church aisles,
who heard their hymns rise through screened windows on summer nights,
draw near to Your son Cleveland today.
He’s carrying sorrow in both hands,
headed to say goodbye to two loved ones in one day—
that’s a heavy load, Lord,
and only You know how deep it goes.
Wrap him in Your peace,
the kind Big Mama used to pray for when she whispered,
“He’s still good.”
Give him strength like the elders had—quiet, rooted, and unshaken.
Let him weep if he must,
but don’t let him crumble.
Let every memory hold light,
and every tear carry grace.
Stand with him by the casket,
ride with him down that long highway,
stay with him when the voices fade.
And Lord, remind Cleveland—deep in his soul—
that love don’t leave,
and neither do You.
In the name of Jesus, the One who sat in sorrow and still rose,
Amen.
